There has only been 1 update for the Ps3 since its release back in August 2013. It seems like we are being left out of all the possibilities and fun mine craft offers. If there is any news on this subject please let me know
There's a line in there: "There’s no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to stop".
IF this is true, (who knows- maybe it's part of the deal) this would be a MAJOR, HUGE change in a console maker's mode of operation. Have you ever known of a game developer that a console maker controls supporting games for a competitor's console???? This would be as ground shaking as Nintendo putting out a xbox version of Mario Kart 8.
It is possible MS will let 4J continue to provide updates for Sony products (I said that for the 'never-say-never' crowd).
It's possible to blow out a flare too.
I think 4J's contract will be 're-negotiated' asap.
Course, I think a lot of things, but I do know this: if the Sony products continue to get updates, you Sony guys are darn lucky! I sure wouldn't expect them! (Or, put another way, if Sony bought MC, do you think they'd provide updates for xbox?)
The important thing is, life will go on as usual... for a while.
Don't panic!
I'm thinking this is not good for us ps3 users,you think we wait a long time for updates now.But i hope Mojang would not of sold to MS(or anyone else) without considering the sony console users(i hope this is not the end for us),if they did use sony consoles and the others as a place holder for $$$$ until they sold,then what a sinister thing it would be for taking advantage of us like that....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and this statement may just be a fingers crossed kinda thing,after all it's now out of Mojangs hands
Who knows. Perhaps 4J will eventually be taken out of the loop altogether and Microsoft will devise a way to profit, market and produce updates for MCPS3 (through Sony of course). This might not be a bad thing...sorta. If this were to happen expect Microsoft to milk the dollars out of us for every MB of update they make....but on the plus side you can bet they'd be churning out the updates 10 times faster than 4J......who are in essence small frys in the software development fishbowl. I don't think updates for the PS3 will stop just yet....we may get a bone thrown to us one last time with a major mob update. But unless Microsoft allow 4J to continue.....or they deal with Sony and do it themselves....you can kiss ongoing support, patches, bug fixes and title updates goodbye.

Who knows maybe Microsoft buying minecraft will be a good thing. it might make some sort of connection with xbox and sony. If that becomes the case then the console wars will be over, and we should be expecting great things.
....its always good to thing about the bright side of things.
i want more updates for ps3. i know we just got the skyrim updated but yall need to come out with multiplayer and horses and all the other stuff that is on pc cause us ps3 members feel like yall dont want us playing your game cause we dont have any of the new stuff on pc i wanna be able to do anything on the ps3 that pc players can do cause ps3 minecraft players are missing out on so much fun and this same old stuff is getting boring after a while so please just give us one big update that gives us everything pc players have and if you did that. and people started talking about yall giving ps3 players everything. then more ps3 players would buy yalls game from the store then buy the packs.(which by the way you should lower some of the prices on)
... please just give us one big update that gives us everything pc players have
Why?
If you want "everything the pc players have"... there's a simple solution!
I'd much rather have something unique and better than what the pc version has. Why would I want consoles to be like the pc? Been there, done that. I want that "exclusive content" we were told about. I'm sick and tired of reading posts wanting the consoles to be just like the pc. I want pc players to be jealous of consoles, and read posts from them wanting to know why they can't have some of the cool stuff the consoles do!

Yes i agree Geneo. I like the differences between pc and console....BUT. Let's face it.....4J are extremely slow in adding new content (apart from cash grab skin and texture packs). They made a promise to players right from day 1 when they said "There will be updates to this game....eventually" which you can see on the load screen on occasion. That's one of the reasons why I bought MCPS3.....I was under the illusion there would be tangible content added periodically. Frankly 4J have been VERY SLOW in keeping up to that agreement.....and I can fully sympathise with players getting a little frustrated with the lack of new content being added. You know had 4J not promised updates.....and had've said "Hey guys...this is the full game....no updates will follow" I still would've bought it and played it to death......but I'd still like 4J to keep to their end of the bargain and give the players those updates that were promised......a lot quicker than they do. Theres not really been a lot added and the game is almost a year old. Do the updates have to mirror all the stuff on PC? no.....but surely they could give us more unique stuff.
